Via Margutta
The Via Margutta is an alley on the Champ de Mars in the center of Rome . The Pincio , the Spanish Square and the Piazza del Popolo are not far. The alley can be reached, for example, via Via del Babuino . Small craftsmen used to have their workshops in Via Margutta. The alley was made famous in 1953 by the couple Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn in A Heart and a Crown . Giulietta Masina , Anna Magnani , Federico Fellini , Renato Guttuso , Giorgio de Chirico and Max Roeder lived in Via Margutta . Pablo Picasso , Gaspar van Wittel , Jusepe de Ribera , Nicolas Poussin , Pieter van Laer and Peter Paul Rubens used to paint nearby .
The Italian architect Pietro Lombardi created the Fontana delle Arti fountain in 1927.
Once a year on the street in the exhibition 100 Pittori a Via Margutta - Hundred Painters in Via Margutta, works of art are brought to passers-by free of charge.
The origin of the name of the alley is uncertain. On the one hand, Marisgutta could refer to a watercourse that used to flow down from the Pincio hill and, on the other hand, the nickname of a painter resident there could be meant: Margut .
